> It isn't a legal right, it is a de facto right.

Our legal system allows you to challenge that. If a campus prevented your conservative group's speaker from speaking, you can sue and win.

If you don't do that, you are failing to uphold free speech as we have upheld it for centuries in America. Your civil rights do not enforce themselves.

> This story, at least to me, also illustrates Chinese immigrants aren't interested in immigrating to other countries because they like the culture, way of life, etc and are choosing them as a new home to raise their families (well, this is part of it of course), but perhaps even unbeknownst to themselves, they have a strong intention to modify their host cultures into a form more like what they are used to.

Of course. That's many people's reaction to a new culture. They want the things they like from both. It's still your job as an American to uphold American values.

Sure, might as well sue mother nature for the temperature rise. What we're seeing is a force of nature, the legal profession cannot stop it, overall society has to choose to stop it, which means they have to choose to allow conservative voices.

I find this observation very strange considering the current political climate in the United States. Isn't the conservative voice the dominant voice being expressed in the executive and legislative branches right now?

Political leaders don't define the culture, the culture is defined by activists within the culture itself, and the left is winning.

Plenty of court cases have set precedent for how individuals and businesses operate in the future.

When a court makes a ruling, people know they can be held similarly accountable, according to the written law, in the future.

That's not actionable. "Society must do x" is not something you have any control over. You can sue and convince culture to follow written law that way.

Oh it's not impossible to legislate, but very unlikely. Someone they trust has to tell these kids that listening to ideas is a good thing, but good luck finding someone influential with integrity these days.
